When I wiped up the tears and balled up all the yard - I decided to try it again. I am after all making this bag as a gift for my friend Sue (how has helped me out so much at work - I owe her a lot more than a bag!) and I have to get back on that horse.
So - I started again and this time it's even better than before! Mostly because it's not a Moebius strip!
My DH has been harassing me again about making him socks and a wool hat. I mean come on! it's almost May - do you really need a wool hat right now! I am looking forward to knitting in Scotland - now there's a place you can use a wool hat! Hopefully out travels will give me plenty of time to knit! I need get one of those cool knit along bags I keep seeing.... like this one
from Purl.
If I don't find one at the Sheep and Wool Festival next weekend - I may have to break down and buy one!
I finished the landscaping in my front yard - yeah! I'll post a completed picture soon - but here are some of the things I have in there...
A cool blue spruce dwarf tree topiary type thing. When I tried to describe this to my DH as a topiary - he becamse very upset... "Topiary!? I hate topiaries!" But when I described it to him as a trunk with a big puff of needles at the top - he was like, "Oh cool". So - I guess it's all in the presentation. I dont' think it's that bad...
I also planted a cool redbark dogwood bush. I love the color of the leaves and the bark.
I still have a few peonies and dinner plate dahlias left to plant. I hope they grow!
